Getting Clarity using Qi Men Dun Jia By Patrick Tay



This speech marks a powerful reflection on a journey that began in June 2023 with the study of Qi Men Dun Jia, and later deepened through formal training under Master Dougles Chan after joining his Qi Men Dun Jia Apprentice Program in November 2024.

Like many students, the journey did not begin with clarity — it began with searching.

Searching for answers.
Searching for techniques.
Searching for certainty.

At the start, the intention was simple: to know when to act, what action to take, and how to make better decisions. There was also ambition — the desire for growth, success, and even financial improvement. That aspiration is relatable to many of us.

But as the journey progressed, something shifted.

Through plotting and reading personal Destiny charts, deeper self-understanding emerged. Seeing the Adviser Star in the Destiny structure explained the constant drive to learn, to explore, and to acquire knowledge. It clarified long-standing personality traits that previously felt unexplained.

However, one key lesson stood out — something consistently emphasized by Master Dougles Chan:

Action alone is not enough.
Action must be supported by insight.

Qi Men Dun Jia is not merely about techniques. It is about structured clarity. It teaches that reaction is optional and strategy is a conscious choice. When emotions run high and life feels uncertain, clarity in timing and direction makes a measurable difference.

The journey itself was not easy. With challenging structures such as the Abstract Door and Original Door appearing in the Destiny chart, obstacles were part of the process. Complexity tested patience. Discipline was required. It would have been easy to use “no time” as an excuse to skip workshops, delay submissions, or disengage from the training process.

Instead, a different mindset was chosen.

A quote from the late Professor Randy Pausch, author of The Last Lecture, became a guiding reminder:

“Obstacles are not there to keep us out. They are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”

That perspective changed everything.

In 2026, this journey takes on new meaning. Qi Men Dun Jia consultations will be offered to raise funds for animal shelters in both Singapore and Malaysia. An ancient art once used by emperors to win wars thousands of years ago can now be applied to create meaningful impact in modern communities.

This transformation — from seeking certainty to finding clarity — reflects what Qi Men Dun Jia truly offers.

It is not only a predictive system.
It is not merely a metaphysical technique.
It is a structured tool for self-awareness, decision-making, and contribution.

Over time, continuous chart reading builds:

• Clarity in uncertain situations
• Confidence in decision-making
• Intuition grounded in structure
• Emotional stability during pressure

For those who have completed the course, congratulations. The journey has required commitment and resilience.

But as shared in this speech — this is not the end.

It is a beautiful beginning.

Qi Men Dun Jia empowers us not to be powerless. We can plot a chart. We can see available options. We can take informed action. And ultimately, we can become individuals who contribute positively to those around us.

As often echoed in personal development circles:

It is not about what we get.
It is about who we become — and how we contribute.

May this journey with Qi Men Dun Jia continue to shape clarity, courage, and purpose in every practitioner’s life.

Thank you for being part of Qimen Awards 2026.
Let us continue to grow, support one another, and use this knowledge responsibly and meaningfully.
